Electronic artist André Allen Anjos is the founder and leading member of Portland’s Remix Artist Collective, better known as RAC. Next week, Anjos, under the RAC moniker, will release part one of his debut album Strangers. The seven-track collection features collaborations with Edward Sharpe and the Magnetic Zeros frontman Alex Ebert, Tegan and Sara, Tokyo Police Club, and MNDR, among others.
Below, listen to RAC and Ebert’s track “Tear You Down”, a sunny and percolating indie-pop cut that sounds as though Edward Sharpe are hosting the most joyous and dance-worthy island soirée. Slap on some sunscreen and listen below.
Strangers, Pt. 1 arrives on March 4th via Cherrytree/Interscope, while Strangers, Pt. 2 is due out April 1st.
